WHAT CAUSES ACNE?

Acne is caused by blocked hair follicles and occurs when our skin produces too much sebum. The excess sebum mixes with our dead skin cells forming a ‘plug’ in the hair follicle which can result in whiteheads and blackheads. The harmless bacteria that lives on our skin can contaminate and infect the ‘plugged’ hair follicles causing the pustules and cysts which we associate with acne.
